Watty Piper's Version Of The Little Engine That Could
AFFIRMATION

Watty Piper is best known for his version of the Little Engine That Could. Though there is much controversy on the original author of this children's classic, Watty Piper tale encouraged children with the Little Engine’s affirmation of “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can”. This affirmation is what is remember still today from the 1930 classic children's story.

What do you speak to yourself? What are you allowing others to speak to you?

It is time to write or update your affirmation. My definition of an affirmation is a series of affirming or encouraging words that speak about you and where you are going. Part of my personal affirmation is: "Working on purpose.
Walking by faith.
Ordered my the Master to take my rightful place."

In creating or updating your affirmation, start by writing verbs that relate to you and where you are going.

I encourage you to use this original affirmation that I wrote for you. Own it. Make it your own until you fine tune your affirmation.

Original Affirmation
I am not stuck and this is not luck.
I am moving to the next level with strength and power. The plan is laid and the vision is clear.
This will be my very best year.

Read aloud your affirmation three times throughout the day.

    As we are all unique, hearing voices can be equally individual; some voice can be positive providing support and encouragement someone needs to get through the day. Other voices can be confusing, perhaps echoing thoughts or repeating strange phrases, some voice can be very frightening, saying things that are critical, threatening or commanding. Voices can claim to have great power and knowledge, which can sometimes leave the voice hearer feeling scared and powerless as the voice are often diminishing the voice hearer and may comment on the person in the third person, or make other remarks for example “she is turned the tape on, stupid isn’t she?” or voices can argue each other. In all cases these voices are perceived as being distinct from the individual’s own thoughts. (Graham, 2008)…

    There is a sense of stubborn determination that I harbor just beneath the surface. When I am faced with any sort of challenge, I will rise to the occasion and become devoted to my final outcome. Nothing can stand in my way when I have decided to achieve a goal. Over time, I have come to the conclusion that if something is easily accomplished, then it probably isn't worth it. I often am confronted with adversity, but I do not retreat. In the confines of my head, I sit down and make up my mind: do it. Going after what I want and refusing with all my might to not let anything stand in my way lets me transcend from ordinary to extraordinary.…
